Occasions Catalogue 2017

Today is a day mixed with different emotions as today is the last day that you can order from the 2016 Annual Catalogue and the Occasions Catalogue. There are so many fabulous products leaving us today that its sad to see these items leave! The last few days, items have been selling out quickly but there is still TONS of great products that is available. You can view all those items here.

My project today is one that we made last week in our stamp a stack class. I wanted to focus on some of the bundles that were carrying over into the new book. The good news that this bundle is carrying over but the sad news is it won't be available as a bundle anymore!

I would suggest grabbing your catalogues and check through them to make sure you have all the bundles you want as today is the last day you can save 10% for those that are carrying over and sadly there are some that are leaving us as of today!

All this warm weather and sunshine has me thinking of my favourite summer treat...ICE CREAM!! I know that you can eat ice cream all year around it just seems to taste better when it hot outside!!

Hello friends, I hope you had a great weekend! Mine was a busy one with being a taxi driver for my girls and on Sunday I had our monthly meeting with my team!! It was AMAZING and I can't wait to share some picture and details with you this week!!!

My project today is one that we created last month at technique class. Our focus for the night was the utterly cool Marble Technique. Honestly, when I was showing them this technique, I felt like I was 10 again playing a game of marbles with my friends. Do you remember doing that? I remember spending hours looking at all the different style and patterns on each and every marble!!

My card today is a fun Fancy Fold, not sure what you call this one, but I'm going to call it a Pop up card!! As the magic happens when you open this card!!!

When you open this card, the hammer magically appears in the bottom right corner! This is one of those card that you just stand there opening and closing the card, just to watch the hammer appear!

Tips and Tricks for my card:

Basic Grey reinker, marbles and a wood clear mount case is all you need to do this technique. Add a few drops of reinker in your wood clear mount case. Add your marbles and shake up to spread the ink around. Add a piece of paper to the wood case and close the lid. Once again, shake the case moving the marbles around to create an unique pattern on your white paper! The trick with this technique is only a few small drops of ink, as you want it to be even spread out.

Sadly the Nail It Bundle, and the Urban Underground Designer Specialty Paper is sold out. But not to worry, you can easily switch up the pattern paper for another one along with the images. There are lots of great guys stamp set out there like Guy Greeting, and One Wild Ride!!

The Birthday greeting is from the Birthday Bright stamp set

My project today is one that I received from my good friend Heather. While we were at Onstage, Heather handed me this super cute treat holder as a way of say "Congrats" on my recent advancement to Gold!!

Thank you so much Heather, I LOVE it!!!

I love how everything was GOLD!! And the best part it had my favourite Mint Smoothie from Rheo Thompson in it!!

Tips and Tricks on this cute holder:

Stamping was done in Delightful Dijon ink

Ribbon is Delightful Dijon and the neat trick about this ribbon is that it looks Gold when used on projects

The tag was created with the Cheerful Tag Framelit Dies and the Big Shot machine

The greeting is from the Everyday Tags stamp set

Sadly the Cheerful Tags Framelits Dies and the Everyday Tags stamp set are on the Retiring List. Meaning these items will leave us on May 31 or sooner depending on supplies! So if these items have been on your wishlist, they I would suggest ordering them before they are gone for good!!

My Downline Rebecca was one recruit away from advancing to Silver Elite and just like that the magic happened! Rebecca recruited her fifth recruit, she advance to Silver Elite and I advance to Gold!! I was over the moon excited as this is a huge accomplished and I'm so grateful for my team, customers and family that made this happen. I was sad that I couldn't share my news with Corrie in person, but I know my angel had something to do with this and he was smiling up there as proud as can be!!!

Hope you are having a great weekend. It looks like it going to be a sunny one around here and it's a great time to get some outside items checked off my to do list! Wish me luck!!

My project today is one that I made with my good friend Rebecca. Rebecca invited me over for an afternoon of stamping and she had this card ready for me to create, all I had to do was stamp, colour and put together. Now that is my kind of card!! Actually it was nice to be on the other side of creating for a change!

Exciting news...the Beautiful You stamp set will be carrying over into the new Annual Catalogue. So you have lots of time to create beautiful projects with this gorgeous stamp set. This set is perfect for so many occasions!

Want to recreate my project, I have some tips and tricks for you:

Colour Combination is Pool Party, and Very Vanilla

Pattern Paper is from the Falling In Love Designer Series Paper Pack, and unfortunately the Falling in Love Designer Series Paper is already sold out.

Make a beautiful layer using the Big Shot machine, the Layering Ovals Collection Framelits and the Stitched Shape Framelits

Ribbon is the 3/8 Stitched Pool Party Ribbon and unfortunately it's sold out too. But you could easily switch it out for Very Vanilla ribbon

Colour the lady using the Watercolour Pencils and Blender Pen. I love using my blender pen as I feel I have more control over shading and colouring!

Stamp greeting with Black Memento ink

So are you ready to recreate this project? Did you know that you can use the layout to recreate another card for a different occasion. That is one of my favourite things to do is to look for card sketches on line and then use that layout to create my own card! I'm in the process of creating a sketch book and I will share with you when I have a few pages done!

I have listed the supplies for you below and you can order directly from my ONLINE store.

My project today is a oldie but fun technique. My friend Angie McKay from North Shore Stamper reminder me of this fun technique and I couldn't wait to give it a try!! I knew it would be the perfect technique for this month's technique class!!

I had the Nail It Bundle sitting on my desk and wanted to use it for my project!! I bought this set as it reminds me so much of Corrie...he sure did love his tools and often told me that you need a variety of tools to complete the job!!! This card is for my lovely husband and I'm sure he is up there in heaven fixing things for others!

Tips and Tricks on my project:

The Nail It Bundle is perfect stamp set and matching framelits for the men in your lives!

Basic Grey reinker, marbles and a wood clear mount case is all you need to do this technique. Add a few drops of reinker in your wood clear mount case. Add your marbles and shake up to spread the ink around. Add a piece of paper to the wood case and close the lid. Once again, shake the case moving the marbles around to create an unique pattern on your white paper! The trick with this technique is only a few small drops of ink, as you want it to be even spread out.

Stamp the screw driver and cut out with matching framelit, and then colour with Delightful Dijon and Smoky Slate marker

The sad news is the Nail It Bundle is on the retiring list and will be leaving us at the end of May. And the sad part is that its already SOLD out which doesn't surprise me as it was a great bundle!!! I have to tell you that this is one bundle that I will be keeping as it reminds me too much of Corrie!!

Some of the cards that I make the most are birthdays cards. I love sending out birthday cards to family, friends and coworkers!! When I first saw the Balloon Adventure stamp set and matching Balloon Pop- Up Thinlits, I knew that I had to add it to my collection!!

My project today was a CASE right from the Occasion Catalogue and you can find this sample of page 4. Our concept Artisan's create beautiful samples to showcase products, and different suites and when I saw this sample, I knew that I had to recreate it!!!
